Coping with Stress: A Study of Male Adolescents' Coping Strategies as Related to Adjustment

Alexander Tolor

Fairfield University

In an effort to explore the possible relationship between coping strategies and adjustment levels in stressed high school students, 174 male students were first administered the High School Social Readjustment Scale to identify the high stress subjects. High stress individuals were then given a Coping Style Questionnaire and two adjustment measures: the Eysenck Personality Inventory and the Neuroticism Scale Questionnaire in order to establish typical strategies employed in dealing with stress for different adjustment levels. Problem-focused strategies, such as "Taking Positive Action" and "Seeking Information," were the most frequently reported strategies. Comparisons between better and more poorly adjusted students produced only modest relationships with a trend for the former to rely more on active strategies and the latter to rely more on dependent strategies of coping with stress.
